50 Years Ago Great Damage In County - Bank Barn of Samuel Bare's Burns To Ground; William Yohn's Barn, At Dennings, Demolished By Wind; Trees And Shrubbery Badly Damaged — The citizens of Westminster and Carroll county were caught by a surprise storm in the shape of a heavy thunder gust and high wind on Saturday evening, which resulted in heavy damage to buildings, trees, shrubbery, etc. The usual large crowd was seen on the streets but when the storm put in its appearance the people ran for shelter. In Westminster a large tree on the lawn of the City hall was blown down across Longwell street, stopping traffic until Monday, when it was removed. A large tree in the park on Bell Grove Square was twisted off a few feet from the ground and others were damaged. Democratic Advocate, June 13, 1947.

75 Years Ago Westminster—Saturday, while a large drove of fat steers belonging to J. Elmer Myers was being driven through the city, one of them walked into the store of Mr. Samuel W. Bond, W. Main street and was made to back out by Mr. F. Z. Miller. Another one tried to get into the Aprile green grocery and in doing so knocked over a fruit stand. The steers were large and fat, the morning very warm and when they reached the scales at the warehouse of the Farmers' Fertilizer and Feed Company many of them were exhausted. Those that tried to get into stores were evidently seeking a shelter from the sun's hot rays. American Sentinel, June 16, 1922.
